We Will Regain Our Country By Staying At Home

A historical chance.

Despite the fact that everyone is talking about the last major strike in 1995, workers from various factories have skillfully defended their rights by stopping work even in recent years.

For example, in February 2012, workers at the Barysau plant of automotive and tractor electrical equipment, outraged by low wages, suspended work for several hours. The company's management responded by raising salaries by 20%, and promised bonuses. In the summer of 2012, similar events took place at the Grodnozhilstroy enterprise. Now the situation for competent preparation and going into a strike is more than favorable. If earlier a strike meant mass actions of workers, now going on a strike means not going anywhere, but staying at home. This strategy will suit absolutely every Belarusian. In fact, everything depends on us.

Lukashenka has been holding power illegally for 27 years. Over the years, a whole generation has grown up that lives under the dictator, and young workers can boldly resolve this situation. But now there are a lot of us, and we have become modern specialists in absolutely every field. And this is very important. Not only factories can strike to stop crimes against the people in Belarus, but also workers of other professions. For example, transport workers will go on strike one day. As a result, thousands of employees will not come to their workplaces on time, and cities will freeze in ten-point traffic jams.

This already happened in 1995. The traffic collapse in Minsk then frightened the authorities. The reason for the strike was the cancellation of the 10% allowance for workers. At first, the strike was announced by the trolleybus depot, but the next day the Minsk metro did not come to work either. Or, for example, employees of gas stations will not come to work. The effect will be simply deafening, since all areas of activity will stop. Therefore, all specialists can help the factories, and in some ways even start first and set the pace for the growth of the strike in Belarus. By stopping the country, we will stop the terror. And absolutely every Belarusian is a part of a mass social phenomenon - a strike.

We must not miss this historic chance to achieve victory. We have a huge number of examples when people achieved normal working conditions with a strike, and even changed political regimes. Therefore, it is very important to prepare, stock up on supplies and stay at home.

In one month we will not lose anything, but by staying at home, we will regain our country.
